Talent Pulled From WWE NXT

A talent will no longer wrestle on WWE NXT

A popular talent has been pulled from tonight's edition of NXT at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

WWE have announced that Lyra Valkyria will take on Ivy Nile on Tuesday's show, with the winner advancing to the Ladder Match for the NXT Women's Title at Stand & Deliver on April 1. The match was originally scheduled to be Lyra Valkyria vs. Wendy Choo but WWE have ultimately pulled Choo from tonight's show.

The popular talent has been off TV since being attacked in the NXT parking lot on February 28. The angle was done to cover for a legitimate injury but Choo's issue wasn't believed to be too serious. The former Mei Ying hasn't wrestled since defeating Dana Brooke on the February 16 edition of Main Event. 

Another qualifying match has already been scheduled for NXT and will see Indi Hartwell face Tiffany Stratton. Gigi Dolin and Zoey Stark have already qualified for the Stand & Deliver Ladder Match. 

Elsewhere on tonight's NXT, Ilja Dragunov will go one-on-one with JD McDonagh, while Chase U will meet the Schism in a "great debate.
